    How did you wrap masking tape around the top carrier?
    I tried it and the top burr wouldnt fit into the holder.
    The tape goes around the top burr and is directly relevant to the amount of play there is in it.

        The item on the left is the top housing next to it is the top burr it has about 2 layers of masking tape on it, yours may not be as flogged out as mine so maybe one layer will fix it.... Its all trial and error.... until its just right.

                  Finally one for you Reubster by time I machine out the existing indents for the grind steps I would be better off leaving it stepless and thus an even greater improvement, so having said that while its apart its getting a quick trip to work for an appointment with the dremel tonight... No time like the present is there?

                  Ray........
                  Compared to this pic I have removed the indents in the plastic housing with a dremel.

                      Heres another photo with different camera settings I hope this is clearer, I actually ground the indents off the inside edge of the top housing.

                        Ahh, I see.... How do you secure it when its grinding? Doesnt it move around when its grinding?

                              Just when you think youve got it sussed and after fixing all of the other "MANUFACTURING DEFECTS" you find one last one and a quite important one at that, where the top burr goes through the top housing and engages into the bottom screw there are two locaters at either side of the top burr which fit or supposed to anyway into the other housing are typically really sloppy and loose. A split match stick and masking tape once again has done a fine job, Ill post a pic........ Ray.

                              P.s. the pic is of the top burr assy. (the other side is the same as this side) You can see the half thickness match stick taped next to the "under size" raised section of PLASTIC. I hope this is clear for you.

                                I couldnt help myself I was so excited that the piece of crap actually works, it sounds and performs exceptionally, I would put it up against anything. It dialled in at just over 15 on the setting bar with no extra spacers under the burr just the 2 standard shims it came with and absolutely no clumping.

                                I pulled a double ethiopian sidamo latte and it was fantastic, I am so excited, coffee nirvana is that little bit closer, probably not the best thing to do at 1.30 in the morning I really dont know how Im going to sleep or get up when the day breaks, anyway Ill cross that bridge later...

                                So heres the result. Im going to try to get some sleep. Ha Ha Ha.... I must be kidding...
